BOG The new game room in Hemenway Hall, an outcome of the BOG space allocations program. Hemenway Hall, the union building, was erected in 1938 to provide a center for co-curricular activities. Formally opened in March of 1939, the building was named the Union Building and later renamed by the Board of Regents, Hem- enway Hall in honor of the late Charles Reed Hemenway. In 1947 the Board of Governors of Hemenway Hall, known as BOG on the campus, was organized by a joint stu- dent-faculty committee appointed by President Gregg Sinclair with the pri- mary purpose of coordinating and pro- moting the social activities of the hall. In the third year of operation, the twelve-man board, headed by Chairman Howard Lau, was confronted with prob- lems of space allocation, furniture, and program. The establishment of a barber- shop and the allocation of the new wing as the ASUH office were a .few of the many decisions made by the board. Among the various activities spon- sored by the BOG were interclass mix- ers, a masquerade ball, a baby derby, the club BOG night club, dancing classes and many musical recitals.

AWS Highly successful in fulfilling its purpose — to promote the best interests of the women students on the campus — AWS, the official women ' s council, maintained an active program through- out the year. To acquaint freshman girls with college life, the upper class women staged a big sister pro- gram during Freshman Week. Throughout the year the council presented fashion shows, lectures on subjects of feminine interest, canasta sessions, and socials. It under- took the editing of the ASUH Student Directory, sponsored the Foster Parent plan, investigated rest-room conditions, and participated in the Operation MIKI and March of Dimes cam- paigns. The group endeavored to cooperate fully with the ASUH and ICC. The inauguration of Women ' s Week, March 6-11, was another successful social venture.

This group possessed the power and duty of trans- acting all affairs connected with publications in which the ASUH participated or was represented. It authorized nomination of editors and business managers of Ka Pala- pala and Ka Leo O Hawaii and made and approved con- tracts. During the year a new policy of jurisdiction over all student publications was adopted.
